Grafts
Soft tissue grafts are small pieces of tissue taken from other areas and surgically implanted in the affected area. This helps to stop bone loss, the recession of gums, and even reduce pain-causing root sensitivity.
Dental Factoid
The earliest record of an actual toothpaste was in 1780 and included scrubbing the teeth with a formula containing burnt bread. Other toothpastes around this time called for: dragons blood, cinnamon, burnt alum. Beat the above ingredients together and use every second day.
Some abnormalities, as well as advanced gum disease that cannot be treated periodontically or non-surgically, may require application of soft tissue grafts. Such procedures can be used to cover an exposed root or correct uneven gum lines.
